LET ME QUALIFY THAT

We never screw it up, cover up, use it up, or bring it up
We started at the bottom and we worked our way up

Well, let me qualify that. One time he went for a crap
In the woods he fell in a trap and he never came back

Well, let me qualify that. In fact, I did come right back
And I found her flat on her back with that neighbor boy Hackity-Sack

If you think we’re not in love, you’ve probably never been there
We never screw it up, cover up, use it up, or bring it up
We started at the bottom and we worked our way up

Well, let me qualify that. It’s true I’ve known quite a few
But what about your brother’s nephew? (You mean niece!)
That slutty whore Peggidy Sue. (Yeah, that’s the one!)

Well, let me qualify that. That girl knew more than I knew
Next to her, you don’t have a clue. How I wish she could have taught you!

If you think we’re not in love, you’ve probably never been there
We never screw it up, cover up, use it up, or bring it up
We started at the bottom and we worked our way up

Well, let me qualify that. You think you got me one there
But there’s more that I could have shared, but I just didn’t care!

Well, let me qualify that. There was a time when you weren’t so cold
I’d give and give, but nothin’ took hold
In the end, you just got too damn old!

If you think we’re not in love, you’ve probably never been there
We never screw it up, cover up, use it up, or bring it up
We started at the bottom and we worked our way up

Well, let me qualify that. He says the government’s out of control
But for a year he sucked tit on the dole, that’s what I call a real asshole!

Well, let me qualify that. I’d been working like a slave for some rat
It was time to take a good nap. God damn, I’m tired of your crap!

If you think we’re not in love, you’ve probably never been there
That’s ‘cause we started at the bottom and we worked our way up

Now that girl knows how to sing a song!

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
